Walter Reeves. |
Hosta is a perennial many Georgians enjoy in their gardens and
landscapes. On the next “Gardening in
Georgia,” Helen Phillips of Callaway Gardens shows
host Walter Reeves how to divide a hosta clump.
They dig a three-year-old clump of hosta and divide it into at
least a dozen small plants to replant or give to friends. Reeves
also shows how to fill in those low spots in your lawn. Then he
demonstrates the way to make a nice manure tea for your
plants.
Three other guests add to this week’s show:
- University of Georgia horticulture professor Wayne McLaurin
tells which tomato varieties are best for gardens in
Georgia. - UGA horticulture professor Jim Midcap talks about the
American yellowwood, a 1999 Georgia Gold
Medal winner. - And Hank Bruno, trails manager at Callaway Gardens, shows
Walter how to properly prune forsythia. There’s a trick to
it.
